Hi Jacob, I don't have any didactic example to explain this well, but you can do this like this: For each component, you create a model, or a object that each component receives and interact with him. So, you create a component that receives a List of Objects, iterating over then, and, depending on the type, call the respective component to render. Use "If" component around each component and the "instanceof" to evaluate the condition. So, you use the component that receives the List inside your column component, and pass the List of objects to them...
If you can't do, I will try to find some code that you can understand... :) Mael On 9/27/06, jake123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Mael, thank you for your answer. Have you done this your self? In that case can you share some example codes? It is much easier to understand how it should work if I can follow the code. thanks again, Jacob Mael Caldas-2 wrote: > > Hi Jacob, > > I Think you have to work on a model that represents better your column... > With the the For Component, and a little of polymorphism applied to > components and its models you can do It easily.
